There is simply prim dial plate, 1 around which two long crooked fingers creep, with open air works behind it, no case, and three or four brass weights on cords dangle l six feet below the face. It was going during 1 the fair and attracted good deal of atten- l ton. Thousands of people stopped before it, | and elderly men had many stories to tell of l it's famous owner, Elder Dow's name being household word in that part of the State.

With the first chill in 1 the air they strike bee line for a warmer climate. There is no longer any attraction | for them here. was down in Jersey last | fall and went out hunting with friend of 1 mine who lives there. I never saw so many ! woodcock in all my life They were as thick as bees. I asked my friend about it and he | said they were always so after the first cold l spell struck in to the northward. He says: We like your law which prevents you from l killing them until they get ready to fly South. | We get all we want of them here after Octo- Der r. Now quail and partridge stay here, but tell you what it is, the law on woodcock is dead wrong"
